Cruisd Federation, S area of ​​Extreme Cold Zone, "Wild Tourist Group" base.

bite--

Bang!

A big hand wrapped in a dirty bandage and bleeding from the blood closed the mechanical warning device and pulled down the switch.

Accompanied by the sound of "touch, touch, touch" with a single rhythm, a dim light gradually illuminated in this huge, empty, three-dimensional underground space.

This is the brilliance of gas lamps, which can always remain bright for a considerable period of time in this dark and resource-short underground base.

After crossing the winding pipes covered with mottled rust, Marco did not stop too much at this metal chain pontoon bridge that seemed to be built on the endless "Vanta Black" field. After quickly walking to the circular platform opposite, he held the deliberately painted metallic blue, suppressed the sudden rise of palpitations and fear from the soul, and walked quickly to the wall.

Click!

Sizzling—

Under the sound of electric currents that were like the joy of the dead, the dark space around us was a little brighter than the sunlight.

The surroundings are full of dampness and corruption, and there are even many pungent and choking substances evaporated by oil. The rare electrical lamps that cannot last long have dispelled a lot of trembling and confusing fear and loss lingering here, making the "monster" under the semi-hollowed platform clearer.

"Malco." The familiar mature female voice came from behind him. He did not respond, nor did he turn around to respond. Instead, he took out a treasured cigarette made of "Anshen Inverted" smuggled into the Sunny Empire in the south. Under the sudden disappearance of fire and rising smoke, he slowly spoke in a hoarse voice:

"There shouldn't be a line here, right? Talia."

"You haven't had a good sleep?" Talia, who was dressed in a black windbreaker and dressed in a man, did not respond directly, but instead said concerned:

"Was that man gone crazy again? Or is Luo Mang unable to adapt to the environment here? As far as I know, the 'Big Brother' is still at the southeast point of the Pluto point and several other 'independent armed leaders to determine the location of the 'new base'. It will take about a week to return. If you fall down, I will not be responsible for such a mess.

"You know, those men who think they are strong never take women in the wasteland seriously. If I hadn't suppressed them with absolute power, they would have been a big deal."

"Talia, I think." Marco turned his head, held the cigarette, and half-jokingly said with a smirk:

"In general, in short, from the past to the future, we all know, maybe we don't necessarily fully understand, maybe we should know, without a doubt, that from the perspective of military and life behavior, including philosophy and culture, you, Talia Ekaterina Mountnova, are already considered a real man."

Marco spoke very quickly, and even his joking mockery made Talia stunned for more than a minute. After thinking "seriously", he went straight forward and hammered his back, and said with anger:

"Although I don't understand what you said, I feel like I'm mocking me no matter how I think."

"Okay, OK." Marco coughed violently twice, then said with a serious look on his face:

"Let's talk about the serious business. Based on the data of the boys who have been in federal schools, Talia, do you know how long the base can last?"

"I don't know much about non-combat things," Talia admitted readily.

"Maybe for two weeks, as long as it is not stimulated. But once it is attacked by the 'unintentional people' and the few lost people, it may get out of control early." Marco explained.

"Out of control?" Talia couldn't understand, looked at Marco with a puzzled look on his face, then crossed the fence, and looked into the depths where there was already a slight light.

"Finding a 'new base' is indeed an important step in the alliance between our 'independent armed forces' and the future fight against the 'unintentional people' and the Federation. Those abandoned urban strongholds have industrial materials that they cannot recycle, and even long-standing scientific and technological products. Of course, as a professor at the Federal University, I have a way to reuse them." Marco took a strong breath of cigarettes and continued:

"But, 'Big Brother' once told me everything, especially the history of this base."

"History? I only remember that this place has existed for a long time. It is said that it was built shortly after the SGD crisis broke out." Talia was a little confused and made a classic shrug.

"Even if you can't understand what I said more deeply, there is one thing you have to admit that he has existed for a long time," Marco continued to explain.

"That's right." Talia nodded slightly.

"But it has existed for too long, but it is not a product of steam machinery. If we compare the entire base to a mechanical vehicle or a sailing steel cruise ship, then even if one or two are damaged, we can find someone to repair and replace parts at any time, even if it later becomes the 'These Ship'. Whether it is new or old, it can continue to be used." Marco preached, as if he was giving lessons to poor students.

Of course, Talia, who was very powerful in fighting, was confused when she heard it, and simply pretended to ask, "What does it have to do with the base?"

"Ours are not steel, but a creature!" Marco said in a low voice and a quick tone:

"All energy is supplied by it, including the 'blue barrier' outside. You have also seen that even if many lost people see through the disguise, if they forcefully break in, they will be powdered by its transformed laser, and there will be no residue left.

"But it is a creature after all. Since the initial "Big Brother" relied on the documents left by the old empire Ivanov Khatluvsky, he captured and controlled this creature according to the method formulated by those scientists. After so many years of free provision of blood, fertilizer, energy, and magic power, it has accumulated countless wounds inside and outside its body that cannot be healed.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Once its power is exhausted, it will completely lose its mind, become angry, and finally explode."

"I... can't understand, but according to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to completely evacuate all the people and supplies here within two weeks." Talia responded with limited cognition:

"I have never heard of what this creature is."

"From a long time ago, about the mid-third era, a mankind began to study them. The organization was still alive and extremely strong, but they were included in the first batch of sequential monsters." Marco explained.

"What after?" Talia's desire for knowledge was briefly aroused, and she asked.

"The scientists of the old empire should be the people led by Ivanov. It is said that through another unrecorded monster, the altar leading to the realm of the gods in the northern suburbs of Binglin City. Legend has it that they met the Lord of the Dark Night, the god who may have appeared in Khitan Ris at the same time." Marco looked up at the part of the space above his head in the middle tone and continued:

"It was an extraordinarily tragic exploration. The few people who entered instantly turned into corruption. The two "extraordinary people" who fled committed suicide due to mental pain within three days, but they stole the ancient embryo of the "Yannucleous Ancient Beast" and a round cell that was half a human-sized.

"However, the team led by Ivanov used all scientific methods to activate and cultivate it. Even if it was put into a nutrient-filled liquid, the use of high-radiation ore stimulation would not help. Until Ivan Twenty-II was seriously ill, an apostle who claimed to be the 'Machines Lord' brought a gear."

"A gear?"

"Yes, of course it is not a product of technology, and it will even overturn the scientists' worldview. However, they can of course explain that some radiation inside the gear is equal to the frequency of the embryo, creating a certain resonance, and activate the cells in it. But in the final analysis, it is the dark magic power inside that received the blessing of the gods, which is equivalent to the real gear being installed in the right position and just activates it." Marco explained:

"But not long after, Ivanov died of a virus with skeletal sclerosis throughout his body, and died in the pain of rupture of internal organs. Finally, our 'big brother' discovered it and activated it with the blood of a 'sexual unintentional person'."

"If I remember correctly, there will be no 'unintentional person' in the middle of the Third Era." Talia questioned.

"But it doesn't mean there is no virus." Marco emphasized:

"I have always suspected that the 'unintentional' crisis was that a military experiment in the old empire was wrong, resulting in the leakage of the 'virus' with extraordinary power, forming a disaster, even if there was no evidence. But then again, the end of the 'plan' was preached; 'We tried every means to not continue to cultivate the embryo, but we did not react until we fed it the blood of a heart that had turned into a mechanical, unconscious empire [warrior].'

"Now think about it, maybe Ivanov's 'skeletal sclerosis' is not accurate, maybe he is 'cardiac sclerosis'. In short, the 'Big Brother' will feed it a 'alien unintentional person' with the same strength as the 5th rank, or it is simply an enemy loser, and it has been maintained until now.

"Talia, each creature arranged the process of birth, growth, strength, aging and death under the initial setting of the Creator. The 'Chief Ancient Beast' is no exception. If it weren't for the rich and extraordinary biological aura, the pipe connecting the extraction of body fluids and strength in his body would probably kill it at the beginning."

"Since that's the case, if it's almost gone, is there a way to delay its...uh...explosion?" Talia raised an extremely realistic question:

"If there was a month, most of the supplies would have the opportunity to be transferred. You also know that without that batch of large machinery and weapons, we would not be able to gain a foothold even if we went to the 'new base'."

"Of course there is." Marco's mouth showed an evil smile:

"As I said just now, the gear that activated it came from the apostle of the Lord of Machinery, then, now, isn't there still a apostle of the Lord of Machinery?"

"You mean, Luo Nai?" Talia asked in disbelief.

But then, with heavy breathing from huge creatures echoing in the underground space, the searchlights around somehow turned on and shine in the deepest part.

Marco and Talia looked down together and saw a spherical monster close to half of the castle, struggling in pain.
